After everything was done, an indescribable thick atmosphere lingered in the bedroom. Any adult would know what had happened here.
Wuyang withdrew his somewhat overused hand, feeling the heat on his face, and then turned over to get up and went to the bathroom to clean up.
Huo Yunchuan stayed in bed for a moment before getting up and following.
“Are you okay?” He saw Wuyang in the mirror, eyes downcast, and asked with concern.
“It’s okay,” Wuyang said, but he felt a bit embarrassed to flip his reddened palms up. “I’m done washing.” He hastily rinsed with water and was about to leave.
“Wait.” Huo Yunchuan immediately grabbed a towel, pulled Wuyang’s hands, and carefully dried them. “All red.” When wiping, he couldn’t help but turn the palms up and saw them.
The middle-aged man, who had just been satisfied, changed his breath in an instant.
However, he wiped diligently and then let go.
Wuyang wanted to say thank you, but fortunately, he remembered what Huo Yunchuan had said and closed his mouth.
“Then I’ll go back to sleep.” He turned and left the bathroom.
The bed still retained the slightly embarrassing and heartbeat-inducing scent. After lying down, it lingered like it was there and not there.
Unable to bear it, Wuyang got up, grabbed the corners of the quilt, and vigorously shook it a few times.

That made it a bit better.
Seeing this, Huo Yunchuan asked, “Do you want to change the quilt?”
Wuyang said, “No need.”
It was not early now, and he was too lazy to get up after lying down.
Huo Yunchuan nodded without saying anything.
The small angel with an unusually long reflex arc, staying in the arms of his spouse Huo, asked, “Is your grandpa easy to get along with?”
The man holding him replied, “Easy to get along with.” After a pause, he kissed him again and said, “He is also your grandpa.”
Wuyang was stunned, but legally speaking, that was true. “Well,” he said. His memories of his biological grandfather were very unfamiliar, with only a faint impression. “Goodnight…”

He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
“Goodnight,” Huo Yunchuan whispered.
In his dream, Wuyang encountered all kinds of strange things, and unconsciously, it was already dawn.
He didn’t vomit this morning, just felt a bit nauseous when brushing his teeth.
Aunt Zhang brought a lot of ingredients in the morning, with various meats and vegetables.
After getting Huo Yunchuan’s approval, Wuyang plunged into the kitchen and, along with Aunt Zhang, prepared the ingredients for the evening.
So that in the evening, they could handle things with ease.
Aunt Zhang originally refused, but Wuyang insisted, so she accepted. This lovely aunt seemed a bit nervous. “This is Aunt Zhang’s first time helping to entertain guests at Mr. Huo’s place, and I’m a bit nervous.”
Wuyang looked at her and said, “Aunt, don’t worry. Yunchuan’s friends are all easy to get along with.”
Aunt Zhang nodded. “I noticed that Mr. Huo has been smiling more these past two days. Did something good happen?”

She was curious because Mr. Huo usually wore a stern expression.
There’s a saying, something like not angry but intimidating, quite frightening.
“Hmm?” Wuyang couldn’t help but think back. Did Mr. Huo really smile more these days?
Then he said, “It might be because we got our marriage license on Monday.”
Aunt Zhang, in the midst of chopping vegetables, paused. “Marriage license?”
She seemed surprised, but considering Mr. Huo’s affection for Wuyang, she felt it was only natural.
“That’s great. Congratulations to both of you, and happy newlyweds,” Aunt Zhang said.
Initially, she thought this shy young man would only help Mr. Huo have a child and could never have a formal status.
“Thank you, Aunt Zhang.” Wuyang showed a slightly shy smile, feeling warm inside.
After about half an hour, the kitchen chores were finished.
Wuyang, who had been working together, washed his hands and then picked up a cup of tea he had brewed, knocking on the bedroom door.
“Come in.” The door was not closed, and a solemn and low voice came from inside.
Wuyang’s heart fluttered, and he walked in.
He didn’t know that Huo Yunchuan was in a video conference, thinking that the other party was handling daily work as usual.
“Yunchuan, I made some black tea. Do you want to try it?” Wuyang smiled lightly, his voice carrying a hint of sweetness like butter.

Huo, caught off guard, immediately turned off the microphone.
But it was too late. He found that his subordinates in the video all showed a shocked and astonished expression.
Huo Yunchuan felt a bit annoyed.
“Did I disturb you?” Wuyang knew nothing and focused on the slightly hot black tea, carefully bringing it over.
Huo Yunchuan immediately took it from him. “No.”
By the way, he moved the camera away, making the subordinates look at the wall.
In the distant conference room, there was a sigh, and they were all speculating about what they had just seen and heard.
“I’m not sure about your preferences, so I didn’t add sugar.” Wuyang scratched his head and said, meeting the deep gaze of the other party. He felt a bit uneasy and turned his face away. “You continue working. I’ll go out and read.”
Huo Yunchuan nodded. “Hmm.”
After watching the figure of the little one leaving, he picked up the still hot black tea and took a sip, his expression seemingly enjoying it immensely.
The man, who usually had a lukewarm attitude towards black tea, suddenly found it exceptionally delicious today.
Then he moved the camera back and turned on the microphone. “Let’s continue the meeting.”
Given that the subordinates were accustomed to yielding to Huo Yunchuan’s authority, no one dared to inquire about the unexpected incident just now—unless they were tired of living.
On the other side, Wuyang sat alone in the living room reading a book, feeling a bit restless and having a strong desire to make a cake.
However, he messed up one yesterday, so he didn’t feel like making another one for now. Plus, there were guests in the evening, so he decided to wait for a couple of days.
It’s worth mentioning that September had arrived, marking the beginning of a new school year.
Wuyang opened the high school class group and found everyone chatting enthusiastically.
Chubby: [smirking/][smirking/][smirking/] Bro, I’m heading to school. What are you doing? @Wuyang
It was precisely because of Chubby that Wuyang opened the long-unused class group.
Seeing the classmates chatting fervently in the group, Wuyang felt like he was in a different world.
Wuyang: Hi, Chubby. Have a smooth journey tomorrow. [smirking/]
Seeing this message, Chubby misunderstood, “Damn, did you already go to school so early? What are you doing, chasing after girls?”
Class President Wang Li: Study committee member, don’t think everyone is like you, okay?
In her impression, Wuyang wasn’t the type of male classmate who liked to get close to girls.
Although his grades weren’t very good, he was handsome, polite, and had a gentle personality.
Wuyang: [laughing/] Thanks, Class President, for vouching for my innocence.
As for the matter of taking a leave of absence, he thought about it and chose to remain silent.
Anyway, Chubby didn’t ask much. He was still the same as before, always talking about chasing after girls.
Wuyang: Someone invited me for dinner. Chubby, good luck with your weight loss. Looking forward to seeing you next time. [smirking/]
Chubby: You heartless guy, you’ve made new friends so quickly? Is it a guy or a girl?
He couldn’t believe it. With Wuyang’s shy demeanor, it would be strange if he made new friends.
Wuyang, in his heart, answered, “It’s a guy, but not a new friend. It’s… it’s…”
The term “husband” didn’t feel suitable, and the word “wife”… these two words flashed through Wuyang’s mind, making him shudder deeply.
Hmm, that’s too scary.
During the meal, Huo Yunchuan noticed that Wuyang’s face was a bit flushed. Without much thought, he reached out to touch for any signs of fever and continued to encourage him to eat.
Surprisingly, there were leek sprouts on the table today.
Wuyang felt that this was the most terrifying thing…
He didn’t eat leek sprouts.
Considering that he had been taking care of Wuyang for quite some time, providing delicious meals every day, he looked frail and had hardly gained any weight. Huo Yunchuan’s gaze swept over the young man, and there was a hint of disdain.
He frowned and said, “Weigh yourself later.”
Wuyang: “…”
While Huo Yunchuan got up to fetch the electronic scale, Wuyang seized the opportunity to grab a can of bottled milk from the table and poured a large glass.
Holding the cup in both hands, he guzzled it down.
When Huo Yunchuan returned with the scale, he noticed a white ring around Wuyang’s mouth but the young man acted as if nothing had happened.
It was too adorable.
“Cough, step on the scale.”
“Okay,” Wuyang calmly stepped on the scale, relieved to find that he weighed several ounces more. Today was indeed an excellent day.
Huo Yunchuan sat down mysteriously, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. “How many cups did you drink?”
Instantly caught off guard, Wuyang blushed. Feeling nervous, he let out a milk hiccup, “Hic… one, just one cup.”
Huo Yunchuan stared at the number, calmly saying, “Reduce it by two ounces.”
The little angel recalculated and unhappily discovered that there wasn’t much left after subtracting two ounces.
“This scale is not scientific…” Despite eating a lot every day, Wuyang couldn’t believe how little was left after subtracting two ounces.
“Come here.” Unable to resist, Huo Yunchuan gestured for Wuyang to approach, his eyes fixed on the white ring around the young man’s mouth. The slightly guilty young man, still preoccupied with his guilt, stepped off the scale and walked over to the man who was summoning him.
In the blink of an eye, Wuyang found himself being held by Mr. Huo again.
Mr. Huo’s intense gaze focused on him, and he raised his hand, intending to touch…
“Nothing,” Huo Yunchuan grabbed the young man’s wrist. “Just a bit of milk residue…”
As he spoke, he sealed Wuyang’s lips.
It was a kiss with a strong milk flavor, and the thirty-year-old Huo Yunchuan tasted the joy of being carefree.
He might have to reconsider his self-assessment, particularly the statement “I’m not a pervert.”
From this point on, Wuyang didn’t even touch the ground. Huo Yunchuan carried him into the bedroom, placed him on the bed, and covered him with a blanket. “You sleep first; I’ll be there in a while.”
After being deprived of the opportunity to eat by himself, he was now denied the chance to walk.
Wuyang, feeling drowsy, thought that many girls would probably feel they had married well.
Hmm, wait, what does “married” mean?
In his half-asleep state, Wuyang thought about these whimsical things and drifted off.
He slept for a long time, completely missing the opportunity to greet the guests.
At four thirty in the afternoon, the refined and handsome lawyer, Chen Chu, was the first to arrive.
He hugged Huo Yunchuan upon meeting him, then presented a gift, saying, “Congratulations on your wedding, you life winner.”
Huo Yunchuan displayed a rare smile. Chen Chu could bet that if anyone who had pursued Huo Yunchuan saw this smile, they would surely be jealous and infuriated. Because the person who could make Huo Yunchuan smile like that wasn’t them.
Of course, Chen Chu was well aware that it wasn’t because of him either.
“Please, Lawyer Chen.” Huo Yunchuan invited his friend in and went to pour tea.
Since Aunt Zhang was in the kitchen, and Wuyang was still asleep, even if Wuyang were awake, Huo Yunchuan wouldn’t let him do anything.
“What about him?” Chen Chu sat down, glancing around the room.
“Still sleeping,” Huo Yunchuan replied.
Chen Chu nodded, “Pregnant people tend to be more sleepy, it’s normal.”
As they were talking, there was a commotion at the door, and it didn’t take much guessing to know who the guy with the key was.
“Hey!” Ji Mingxuan opened the door, swaggering in. “Yo, Lao Chen is here? Earlier than me.”
He was dressed flamboyantly, plopping down between the two serious friends, attracting attention.
“Here, a gift.” Ji Mingxuan took a box from his pocket and threw it on the table.
“Thanks,” Huo Yunchuan said, washing a cup to pour tea for him.
Ji Mingxuan looked around, showing concern, “Where’s the little guy?”
Chen Chu answered for Huo Yunchuan, saying, “Sleeping.”
Ji Mingxuan looked at his watch, incredulous, “Tsk tsk, really can sleep. Is he born in the Year of the Pig?”
Huo Yunchuan glanced at Ji Mingxuan, “He was born in the Year of the Dragon.”
Ji Mingxuan and Chen Chu immediately counted on their fingers. Yeah, born in the Year of the Dragon means eighteen years old.
But this still couldn’t change the fact that Huo Yunchuan was a beast.
Anyway, as long as the twelve-year age difference remained, Huo Yunchuan couldn’t escape the label of being a beast.
Huo Yunchuan and An Wuyang were mentally prepared to be scorned when they got together, facing those judgmental gazes with calmness.
“When is Shao Fei arriving?” He glanced at his watch, got up, and went to the balcony to call his grandfather.
Coincidentally, Shao Fei’s call was coming in at the same time.
Huo Yunchuan answered and called out, “Grandpa?”
“Yunchuan…” It was the voice of his father, Huo Xiao. “Cough, your grandpa said it already. Your mother and I are coming over together.”
Grandpa Huo couldn’t wait to raise his cane and beat the unfilial son beside him. “No, Yunchuan, not grandpa said that… oh my…”
Huo Yunchuan remained silent, a silence that was torturous.
“I’m sorry; I know you wanted to keep it from us to protect… them, but your mother and I promise we won’t harm him.” Huo Xiao emphasized, “We are happy for you and just want to meet him.”
Huo Yunchuan turned his head slowly, looking at the door of the bedroom. “I’m sure you will scare him.”
He understood An Wuyang’s shy and timid nature very well.
Zhang Ruoxi grabbed the phone, “Yunchuan, we can pretend we are not your parents.” For the sake of their grandson and daughter-in-law, the son could be abandoned!
“That’s right,” Huo Xiao took back the phone, “If he’s not afraid of you, why would he be afraid of us?”
As a father, he accidentally spoke a bitter truth that might sting a bit.
“Is that so?” President Huo adjusted his collar, “Then it’s a pity. In his heart, I’m not frightening at all; he relies on me a lot.”
This statement wasn’t a boast but a straightforward expression of fact.
After everything was done, an indescribable thick atmosphere lingered in the bedroom. Any adult would know what had happened here.
Wuyang withdrew his somewhat overused hand, feeling the heat on his face, and then turned over to get up and went to the bathroom to clean up.
Huo Yunchuan stayed in bed for a moment before getting up and following.
